We describe the Lutonium, an asynchronous 8051 microcontroller designed for low Et. In 0.18m CMOS, at nominal 1.8 V, we expect a performance of 0.5 nJ per instruction at 200 MIPS. At 0.5 V, we expect 4 MIPS and 40 pJ/instruction, corresponding to 25,000 MIPS/Watt. We describe the structure of a fine-grain pipeline optimized for Et efficiency, some of the peripherals implementation, and the adva...

Patient safety assessment in anaesthesia increasingly relies on the monitoring of frequent but merely undesirable events, like hypotension. We report on the design and implementation of such a monitoring system, where 8032 patients were included over a three years period. Thirty two 'Significant Anaesthetic Events' were defined and their occurrence was routinely collected for each patient. A to...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of single phase PWM inverter using 8051 microcontroller. The main features of 8051 based PWM inverter are simpler design, low cost, maximum range of voltage control and compact in size. The designed PWM inverter is tested on various AC loads like AC motor and intensity control of incandescent lamp in a closed loop environment.

The beta-galactosidase from the Antarctic gram-negative bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAE 79 was purified to homogeneity. The nucleotide sequence and the NH(2)-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme indicate that the beta-galactosidase subunit is composed of 1,038 amino acids with a calculated M(r) of 118,068. This beta-galactosidase shares structural properties with Esc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Carbapenems are therapeutic choice against infections caused by gram-negative bacilli including strains of Acinetobacter baumannii. Resistance to these antibiotics is mediated by efflux pumps, porins, PBPs and ß-lactamases. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of existence of MBLs, OXAs and GES-1 betalactamase genes among clinical isolates of Acinetoba...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a correlation exists between the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after liver transplant (LT). DESIGN Prospective cohort. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Adult LT recipients (N = 209). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Postoperative HRQOL over a 1-year period after LT as measured via multiple regression-ba...

Variation in species composition among sites (beta diversity) is generally thought to be driven by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation, but the role of biotic interactions has not been sufficiently addressed. Specifically, early a local community may contribute subsequent beta diversity patterns. Exotic assemblages within native communities provide unique opportunity study interact...

We investigated the in vivo effects of a glucocorticoid on beta-agonist-induced downregulation of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors (determined by [125I]iodocyanopindolol binding), mRNA expression (assessed by Northern blotting), and gene transcription (using nuclear run-on assays) in rat lung. Dexamethasone (Dex) (0.2 mg/kg/d, days 1-8) increased beta 1- and beta 2-receptor numbers by 70...
